Oh Chaser could you gimme a favor? My ARV 2.1 seems work malfunctioning. See . I have try ed my best but it come a cropper. Could you edit my monobook and fix that bug as an admin? -- ♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪  Walkie-talkie |undefined 13:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Vandal
You asked about the vandalism. Well, he's been blocked, but for future reference, he was changing all the actors that play Jason Voorhees to "Kane Hodder". Though Kane Hodder did play him, he didn't in any of the films the anon was changing him to. That was what he was originally blocked for, being disruptive. Later he decided to change all the Leatherface portrayals to "Gunner Hansen" (the first actor). Bignole 00:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * OK. Sorry for dragging my feet.--Chaser T 00:43, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

noticeboard/Incidents
Re the WP:BITE case on the incidents page. I think consiering the fact that all the signs point towards him being totaly ignorant of talk pages, it is a vilation of WP:BITE to block him. They where entitled to ask him to change his username, that was not the violation. I think it would be best to unblock him so as to try again. Please let me know. frummer 08:34, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * From his/her edits, this person was clearly quite intelligent, understanding and using some complex aspects of wiki-coding, such as templates and piped links. Here's a good example. I'd be quite surprised if he/she couldn't figure out the simple instructions for requesting and unblocking and/or requesting a name change. For that reason, I'm fairly certain the editor simply created a new account and isn't particularly concerned about attribution.--Chaser T 08:40, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I dont mean to be argumentative, but I dont think those wiki codes where very complicated. As you said he was clearly quite intelligent but there are other signs that he had no clue what a talk page was. He/she made one attempt, didnt sign, and never replied to its reply. frummer 08:46, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * If he ever signs in to the account again, the first thing he'll notice is the big message box and this on his talk page. That's all I can do without some evidence that he's returned to the account.--Chaser T 08:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * ok, thank you! frummer 15:27, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

 * he wasn't a famous author but did write several science fiction novels and if you restore the article i can add some more information about him —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Navbobafshar90 (talk • contribs) 07:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC).


 * i know he isnt listed on amazon but he is a first cousin of my mom's and all the information i am giving you is based on written journals and family information, but he definetely wrote science fiction as it was one of his passions but i dont know how many (if any) were published. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Navbobafshar90 (talk • contribs) 07:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC).


 * its gonna be hard to get a review of his book because the Ali Rajavi was not published by big name publishers but at the same time you have to realize that he is very well known in our family and as far as our family reaches and in addition to his saddeing and mysterious dissapearance, i feel that people need to hear about him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Navbobafshar90 (talk • contribs) 07:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

Excel School
Sir, Why you deleted the article named Excel Pearls Nursery School? I found that it's a nursery school and hence the reason for nomination it for deletion. It is not a nursery school. But I have only the school prospectus of the Nursery section which is to be used as reference. Since the article have to focus the refernced source, I named it in the name as in the Prospectus. Iam in search of original source and soon I will find some thing and was on the way to rename it as Excel Central School, which is its original Name.

Also this is one of the most important school in Kanyakumari district. See here and here. Notability is not a problem. With refering original source, I may be able to explain it in detail. So please help in retaining the article.

I don't know that the article was deleted since today. When I look for the article today, I find that it was deleted. And to bring back it What I have to do? Please help. - Paul 07:55, 19 December 2006 (UTC)


 * You're welcome to take it to deletion review, but I doubt it will get restored with those references. If the school has a website, that might help to establish that it's more than just a nursery school. It went through process properly, so I can't restore it without a consensus at deletion review. Sorry.--Chaser T 08:00, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

RfA questions
Thank you for taking the time to answer the optional questions. They are my way of participation. If I don't offer a Support or Oppose vote, then it should be assumed that I'm remaining neutral. I generally don't vote one way or the other in an RfA because I don't want to give the impression that there is a right or a wrong way to answer the questions and I don't want my vote to appear as a knee jerk reaction to the answers given. I will vote if the answers to any of the questions (including those not my own) give me a strong reaction one way or the other. I have found that other participants have found the questions useful because they have been cited as a basis for their voting decision. Generally, RfAs tend to be a landslide in one direction or the other, so my one vote won't make much of a difference in this kind of circumstance. This is also why I generally don't apply my questions to RfAs I already see as a landslide. &mdash;Malber (talk • contribs) 13:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I purposely did not source the information from a copyrighted source but rather from their MySpace website which does use similar content - I have edited the material to ensure that there isn't an issue with copyright infringement - as I have included a significant number of other issues which aren't from the AMO website - am prepared to further edit if necessary Dan arndt

Did check WP:MUSIC and would like to think that it meets a number of the criteria, generally as follows (but if you need me to clarify or you think that the 'grounds' are shaky let me know: does this assist? Dan arndt
 * 1) can cite a number of Australian press reviews of the band and their releases if necessary (these articles are not press releases but independent reviews.
 * 2) the band have toured nationally on several occassions
 * 3) depends on whether you cite Redline Records (the label established by members of the band, Jebediah) or Shock records as a major indie label or not.
 * 4) Simon Struthers from the band is now a notable record producer as well working with a number of up and coming bands and artists, notably Bob Evans (who's latest album has been nationally recognised)
 * 5) the band in 1998 won a national competion for unsigned bands run by the Australian Broadcasting Commission
 * 6) the drummer from the band also won a West Australian Music Industry Award in 2003(which after the ARIAs) are one of the more nationally recognised music awards in Australia.
 * 7) the band have also recieved national coverage on the Australia Youth radio Station, Triple J.

Your advice
Thank you for your advice regarding new page patrol. I have been using a tool to do new page patrol and that tool shows the most recently added new pages. I will put in a request for an option to have new pages "from the bottom" of the list. I'm actually unsure, however, whether it is less cruel to tag some of the pages immmediately. There are a large number of new pages about non-notable bands or non-notable teenagers. It would seem less cruel not to have them adding biographical material for an hour before their article is tagged as possibly qualifying for speedy deletion. Just a thought. Thank you for your assistance, and please feel free stop by again. Sincerely, --BostonMA talk 13:39, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of MaxiVista vs. Multiplicity
I would appreciate your offered help: I created the MaxiVista article roughly based on the Multiplicity article (as MaxiVista offers a similar feature like Multiplicity) and both articles were actually similar in the way of description. Surprisingly, the MaxiVista article has been deleted because somebody sees it as spam while the similar article Multiplicty is still listed. I do not understand why the one is kept and the other one is deleted. I would appreciated to have this explained.

Bonny Hicks
Why did you decline deleting this article? The article is only 3 sentences and there is no clear reason for it's notability. Fighting for Justice 01:59, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Because there was an assertion to notability, a fact that is becoming quite clear at the AfD.--Chaser T 04:31, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, I can see that. Basically ANYONE can have an article on wikipedia, so long as their name appeared in the newspaper. Fighting for Justice 04:36, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Un-Delete My Article
I didn't create the article for it to be deleted. I even said on the article's talk page that I understood that the article was liable for speedy deletion, and I even rebuttled with a statement on the article's Talk Page. My article was titled "Cosmic Flight Entertainment," I cannot type out a whole perfect article that you might expect at the moment, especially when it was about 3 AM whenever I was typing it. This has been at least the third time that I have tried and created the same article, but you ignoramoses keep deleting it. I know that you are Administrators, but quit abusing your powers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GageShoichi (talk • contribs)


 * Your next step is deletion review. I didn't delete Cosmic Flight Entertainment because it was imperfect or unfinished, but because it failed to assert notability.--Chaser T 19:17, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, and I understand that. As stated before, I did intend to further develop my article, so that it may meet the specific guidlines.


 * Putting "assertion to notability" more bluntly: why should anyone care about this group? Why do they merit an article? What makes them important or significant? Answer that question and you may have yourself a good reason to head to DRV.--Chaser T 19:25, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Because I feel that their background needs to be told, I've seen dozens of articles that render the same thing that I am trying to accomplish, and even those, I love reading through. This article is basically for informational purposes, which is what, I think anyway, Wikipedia should be. Yes, you may not understand what I am getting at, but if you un-delete the article, I will show you that I can create an article that "asserts notability" by updating the article with current projects, news, etc. One such article that I belive deserves to be deleted more than my own article is Mondo Mini Shows, just off the top of my head. I mean, even I am willing to create a more relevent article than that, and I will create a more relevent article than that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GageShoichi (talk • contribs) 19:36, 27 December 2006 (UTC).

Nope, an afd over at Articles for deletion/List of pre-made characters in The Sims to which the info had been merged saw that page deleted.

Undeletion request (moved from User:Chaser)
Chaser:

I am new to this and I have no idea whether this is the place I should be asking this so please bear with me.

I (HarrisR) sent in a article on Dec 13th titled "Design Argument - Redesigned" and you had proposed it for deletion. The message said to go the deletion log to see the reason for deletion. When I went to the deletion log and put my user name and title, it said "No matching items on log."

Please help me find why my article was proposed for deletion.

Thank you

 * I moved this comment from my user page and responded on HarrisR's talk page.--Chaser T 22:19, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the response. I am still confused regarding where the deletion notice is. You had this response on my talk page: "This is essentially an essay and it's tone, layout, formatting, and possible original research and neutrality problems means it would take too much effort to salvage it." Is this the reason for the deletion? Is there more to this in a deletion notice somewhere that I cannot find?

HarrisR 01:59, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Curtis
Please take a look at Talk page of NCAHF. I have backed off, and now Curtis is attacking Ronz. This should be self explanatory. By the way, Curtis has certainly been 'guilty' of 3RR both on BI article and this one - his 'fresh additions' were also reversions. That aside, I have no particular interest in Barrett or NCAHF, other than his legal involvement, which does interest me as I am an attorney. I am neither "pro-Barrett" nor "anti-Barrett", and genuinely have no bias here (other than my interest in Constitutional law and legal proceedings.) Curtis' attacks are not only vicious, they are out of left field. I think you will see for yourself, if you look at Curtis' edits. Now that I have backed off, he is attacking Ronz. In NCAHF, he excerpted large portions of one or more websites, which no other editor felt was appropriate. Curtis reverted that article numerous times, until I gave up, and one editor tagged the article as "copyright" violation. Since the tag, Curtis has continued to add similar objectionable edits to the article (the instructions of the tag request editors leave it alone until admins have a chance to resolve it). I do not know who this person is, but this is stunning. Oh, and he does not give up - insists on having the "last word", as you can also see. Jance 05:49, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Jance, I've been trying to de-escalate this on Curtis's talk page between him and Ronz. Could we just declare a truce on the article talk pages for a while, please.--Chaser T 06:04, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I think I already have. i let him have the 'last word'.  If you look at what I provided above, you will see that I backed off, and so Curtis then attacked Ronz in a similar fashion.  My guess is that next it will be another editor.   Since Curtis told you 'his side' of the story, which referenced me, I thought you should see what he has been doing.  Good luck.  Jance 06:05, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, I'm still reading things.--Chaser T 06:12, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I hope you can. Curtis is still commenting on the talk page of NCAHF and is unwilling to work with any other editors.  Jance 06:14, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I did add a comment on the talk page. Curtis continues to be self-righteous, condescending and insists on his own way (which is, I might add, ludicrous) and not one person will stand up to him.  THAT is also ludicrous.Jance 06:33, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure. I am getting totally disgusted.  Curtis has also gone to Barrett v. Rosenthal and changed it to add useless information that is not even legally accurate.  He will continue to do this, to an extreme, until someone stops him. I'm done with it. Jance 07:01, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I suppose. However, now that Ronz has backed down, and I will back down, Curtis will be free to trample even more.  He does not strike me as anyone willing to collaborate.  Has he removed his offending statements?  Of course not.  But to answer your question, sure I will, if you will stay involved with this, and not allow Curtis to run roughshod over me and othrs - including making edits as he has.Jance 08:19, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I can't and won't play policeman for you two. I'm busy the next two days travelling/moving. I'd suggest you try various dispute resolution processes: Resolving disputes.--Chaser T 08:31, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No,I dont expect you do. Because i have had a block in the past, it is acceptable for someone like Curtis to run roughshod over me, and over Ronz, and anyone else he chooses.  I don't know what you have done, but it hasn't helped.Jance 09:03, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
